Thank you so much for all the amazing advice! I am more inclined to agree that is just playfulness. I feed raw food diet only so I don't leave out dry food but I think I'm going to up her calories. Playing with her more and distracting has helped as well as I did hiss at her and it seemed to...

Will definitely give it a try. It's not been happening as much since I've been putting her in timeout and really working on distractions

I am so trying to find the reason and will continue to try to figure it out! And while at first it seems like she's just trying to play the second I moved to remove her she gets more ferocious I guess.. My family wants me to smack at her but I don't think that's going to work and I don't want to...

I've had a female (previously stray and outdoor) cat for about 4 months. She is fixed now. She has high energy and very playful. Very vocal and seems to always be hungry. She will playfully attack a finger or toe if moving. But lately (this is new behavior and no changes have happened) she is...

Thank you. I promise I'm not trying to argue with you guys. My vet did tell me this morning that he has no pain in his back limbs which I haven't mentioned on this forum. And I've been looking up similar situations and that's a very poor prognosis for any type of recovery. :(

Thank you for your replies. I'm trying to prepare myself for the worst (which I never am), but I want to talk to my vet thoroughly tonight before making any decisions. I honestly have no clue as to cost of a specialist but it's probably more than I can afford. And I hate to put him through...

Heartbroken update. The vet called this morning saying he's not progressing any. Still paralyzed and is not going to walk again. They said they have aggressively tried everything they can for his back. If I take him home, he will need his bladder expressed twice a day. I asked about being...

This is a great suggestion to bring up, I definitely will! Thank you so much!

Maybe so. Ugh I dread it because I tried this before with my CKD cat and never got the hang of it. All the prayers for this anxious kitty Mama.

Hey everyone. For all who's been keeping up with Jo, I took him back to the vet this morning. He was acting like he didn't feel well last night, even after a large bm finally happened. No purrs when I petted his favorite spots. This morning was the same. Did not want his canned food that he...

It's not a slipped disc. It's disc disease. He has a narrowing between two of his vertebrae. It's compressing the disc, inflamed and causing the paralysis.

We just had a poop ball emerge! Haha hallelujah lol

Thank you

So at this point, what type of specialist would he need?

Feeby's owner, thanks, truly. I had read about stress and dehydration affecting the kidney levels, I was hoping the ER vet might have mentioned that but I didn't suggest it either. But that's a great idea to get the bloodwork from both recent trips and compare myself. I hadn't thought of that...

We're back home after the emergency vet trip and I left more confused than before. They couldn't feel any constipation and decided on bloodwork instead of x-rays. They said there was no need for an enema. Turns out they say he has kidney failure as his kidney levels were really high. (Not sure...

Thank you for this thorough information, especially the info about specialist and the pain medications. I do think the constipation probably has to do with his age (he's been constipated lately, but has never gone this long) and definitely the pain. I hope nothing else. Upon calling the...

But his tummy feels tight :(

1/4 tsp twice a day with wet food. I started giving it to him Friday night. He eats the wet food up and he wants treats but I'm not giving him any more now and he hasn't eaten any dry food, which I'm glad. I did give him a little extra Miralax today.
